Future? Potential Potential Potential

This is definitely the artist spotlight where I'm co-signing the Artist being showcased. This 18 year old rapper from Providence, RI keeps his name simple and home town all the way simply "Prov". With effortless punchlines and the ability to bring crazy emotion this young man is ready to make a big move on the Hip-Hop scene. Prov has been rapping since the age of about 12 and has grown into a man over the mic. I've been hearing his music since the early days when he was still known as Young Killa. The progression is amazing and Prov has become more and more versatile over time. At the age of 15 he was taken in by prominent Providence music group known as O.G. Entertainment. Spending long hours waiting in the studio to record after the lead artist of the label got in the booth. Prov's work ethic and ability led all the top artists of O.G. want to record tracks with him, he also possessed the ability to help out with studio sessions and even produce tracks. The kid is multi-talented and if put in the right situation he will flourish. He's been compared to Cassidy and Lloyd Banks because of his ease with punch lines, but the potential is so much greater if his song structure continues to grow. Aside from being a solo artist Prov is also part of the trio called Killa Squad (Keeping It Live Like Always) which features himself, AR-15, and P.Krac. Prov has a solo project as well as a group project in the works, He's currently recording material for it and getting his career moves right by working with Tyrone "Hus" Campbell of Visual Post to get all kinds of graphics and video work done for 2008. Prov has been getting into the myspace scene heavy and has gained a lot of attention for his remix of "Get Silly", Prov puts his own twist on this track with the help of Killa Squad. Another verse which has people buzzing is on the track "Don't Mistake Me" with O.G. Ent. artist Reeper. Prov also shows he can deliver those raw emotions type of tracks with the introspective track "Lost In My Own Mind". The only road block in Prov's way so far have been his run ins with the Law. But he's definitely on the right track in 2008 to make a statement going into 2009, he's only 18 going on 19 so his journey is just beginning . He's got plenty of support from myself Young Che (his Dj) and of course the "D-Pride and Sirus Show" where Prov had an impressive interview this summer where he spit these freestyles. Stay on the look out for Prov and the whole O.G. Entertainment/ Killa Squad movement.
